The contact owns a 2003 BMW 330i. The contact stated that the passenger seat air bag sensor causes the air bag indicator to illuminate. The illumination occurs whenever someone is seated in the passenger seat. The indicator remains lit even if no one is in the passenger seat. The dealer stated that the warranty was expired and the contact would be responsible for the repair costs. The failure mileage was 59,000.
From the time I bought the car new in early 2003, the air bag sensor light remained on indefinitely. The BMW dealer turned the alert light off several times, and did not fix the underlying problem, indicating that it was only the sensor and that the airbag was working. The light continues to remain on. After several visits to murray BMW in denver the problem was not fixed and the dealership merely turned the alert light off indicating there was nothing wrong, and not repairing the problem. At that time the warranty expired and the repair was never made. Now the air bag light is still on and the dealership will not take care of the issue with the sensor. When the airbag recall was performed, the air bag light still remained on, and the dealership indicated that the replacement of the airbag was not related to the air bag sensor. This is not acceptable when purchasing a brand new vehicle!.
